With Illuminate Adelaide, South Australia’s winter turns into a season to bring leading local and global digital artists to Adelaide using technology to activate city-wide interactive immersive experiences. For Mirror Mirror, a custom pavilion, 18m x 65m x 9m, was erected in the center of the CBD in Victoria Square to create a custom home for the activation.
- Gwalior Fort, India – Revamped its Sound and Light Show with Lightware’s Technology to create an immersive 360-degree projection installation. The installation features a vast canvas stretching upon the walls of the Man Mandir imposing palace, each 800 meters wide, across the front yard and even over a tree between the palace walls, which is strategically included in the imagery. Visuals are synchronized with the narration and laser lights to give an impression of history speaking to the audience.
